Grace's first Christmas...

Here was our first time taking pictures for our Christmas card with Grace. It was passed Grace's Bed time so she was a little sleepy eyed and did not have many smiles. We had a lot of fun attempting to make her smile though. We also included some video footage from our Christmas tree adventure. We hope you all enjoy the pictures and video we would like to share with you.

Ramdom 4 month pictures of Gracie Pooh...

Grace fell asleep on her own while I was showering and she was sitting in

her papazon seat with her snuggie.

Here is Grace fake sleeping. She likes to fool her mother. :-)

Our precious little angel fast asleep.

Grace's four month doctor's checkup. She is doing

very well sitting upright not quite on her own yet.

Here is Grace swimming on her Belly. I think she is going

to really like the real thing when summer comes around.

Grace getting weighed...she was 12lBs 11oz. Just a little peanut.

She is in the 25% for weight, 50% for height, and 75% for size of her head.

I guess this means she will have a small figure with lots of Brains. Doesnt get any

Better than that! :-)

Grace's first Thanksgiving....

Here is Grace's Thanksgiving BiB from Grandma and Grandpa SolBerg.
She wished she could have seen them over Thanksgiving But we hope to see

them in January or FeBruary!

Well I would have liked to have gotten some more photos for Grace's first thanksgiving, however our camera recently took a dive. We spent Thanksgiving up in the Fox Valley with my Mom and Steve, Jessie, Chris, Anna, Alexis, Issac, Dominic, Grandma and Grandpa SolBerg, Julia and Phillip, some of Phillips friends from Montana, and Julia and Phillips Mother Patty and Patty's friend Dave, Grandma and Grandpa Kaufman, and Aunt Mary and that was just on Thanksgiving Eve!!! Jon and Phillip fried a two turkey's and helped prepare the meal for all of us. The turkey's turned out awesome!!! It was a lovely thanksgiving eve.

On Thanksgiving we went over to Aunt Margaret and Uncle Van Callies home and we had such a nice time. She always makes a very delicious meal and desserts!! We shared Thanksgiving with Mom Callies, Kristin, Brooke, Greggery, and Nicole and Dan. Ryan and Luke, and Dad Callies all stayed home they were not feeling well. After a long day of relaxing and eating we headed to a movie while my Mom and Steve watched Grace. It was a nice date night for Jon and I.

Grace with cousin's Dan and Nicole Cooley. She cant wait for them to watch her so we can have a night out in Chicago!!! Or I should say we cant wait!!!! :-)

Grace's first play date with Grace Lange...

Grace and I have been taking Mommy and baby yoga together with Betsy and Grace Lange. It has been a lot of fun and our daughters love to play together or at least we think so. :-) Here are some pictures of Grace and Gracie playing together at Grace's house. Our Grace also called Gracie loves their dog Coors who is a miniature poodle. She just giggles like crazy when he jumps up to get his toys. We could stay there all day just to hear her precious giggle.

Our Little Bunny and Ballerina...

Here is Grace in her Bunny towel that she got as a gift from
Uncle Ned and Aunt Karen Callies. She just loves taking Baths and getting ready in the morning.

Grace is our little Ballerina I hope to teach her some steps when she is older. For now we just have fun playing dress up and taking pictures. This is her first tutu and she looks so cute in it. I just couldn't resist taking some pictures to share with you.

Christmas Shopping and Lunch with the Callies Family...

Here is Grace with cousin Brooke O'Connor while we were shopping she was watching Grace and they were watching Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer together in Gymboree... how sweet!!!

Here we are out to eat with Nana and Papa, Aunt Kristin, and cousin's Brooke, Luke, and Greggery. They are all so excited to see their little cousin Grace. It is just too cute!!!

Grace went in for her two month doctors check up and weighed 10lbs and 10 oz and was 23inches long. She was right on track with all of her measurments and milestones. Surprisingly she was in the 75 percentile for height. We know this maybe the only time she will be there so we are so proud. :-)
